First superstar of modern Hong Kong music industry to wow audience with his classic hits

Nicknamed the “Godfather of Cantopop”, Sam Hui revolutionised the music industry in the 1970s when he began writing and performing western style pop songs in colloquial Cantonese, often dealing with daily issues or politics, in contrast to the classical folk songs prevalent at the time. While their message appealed to Hong Kong’s working class, his casual style also redefined local popular music for a generation, and established a template for artists to come.

Known as the “Elvis Presley of Hong Kong”, he went on to release 27 albums in both Cantonese and English, with hits including “A Sound of Laughter in the Vast Sea”, “From the Heat of A Loafer”, “The Private Eyes”, “Silence is Golden” and many more, and appear in over 25 films.

In 2004 he held 44 concerts in a row, breaking the record for the most shows in one year in Hong Kong.
